HINDRAF LEGAL COUNSEL ARRESTED UNDER SEDITIOUS CHARGES

It has been reported this morning that the police have arrested Mr. P. Uthayakumar, the legal representative of Hindraf (Hindu Rights Action Force), who are planning a massive gathering of at least more than 100,000 people under the Seditious Act.

With this police action, will the sunday rally be called-off? It seems that the people will be gather much more than expected to support the memorandum and also to show support to Uthayakumar.

The police action has tarnished the Malaysian reputation and image that something is drastically wrong and the government wants to cover-up by arresting the people involved.
